Abstract
162 of 248 bones were fractured. 130 fractures were identified using ultrasound, and 148 using X-ray. There were some advantages of X-ray over ultrasound in the detection of fracture type (80 correct results using X-ray, 66 correct results using ultrasound). Ultrasound, however, was superior to X-ra...

Abstract
The importance of dynamisation after static locked nailing in comminuted closed tibial fractures is a matter of contention. A prospective study was undertaken among 178 patients in the department of orthopaedics at RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata from January 2002 to December 2006, to analyse the us...

Abstract
The findings of this study support the concept that, for intramedullary nails, the kind of distal interlocking pattern affects the stabilization of distal femoral fractures. Four-screw distal locking provides the highest axial stability and nearly comparable torsional stability to that of the angula...

Abstract
The Epibloc system of percutaneous endomedullary internal fixation is best indicated for AO type A2-3 extra-articular fractures of the distal radius and AO type C1 slightly comminuted articular fractures. This system includes pins that can be inserted into the medullary canal and advanced without br...

Abstract
In conclusion, radial head fractures with 3 or more fragments have a high incidence of complications when treated with ORIF including hardware failure, malunion, nonunion, and the need for re-operation. Radial head arthroplasty has demonstrated good success in the treatment of complex, comminuted ra...

Abstract
Traditionally, midshaft clavicular fractures have been treated conservatively. However a review of the literature reveals that certain fractures can benefit from operative repair. Conservative treatment, preferably in the form of a sling, of an undisplaced midshaft clavicular fracture leads to excel...

Abstract
The mean DASH score reached 14 points, the modified Gartland/Werley score was 6.9. There was one loss of reduction on radiographic evaluation, which yielded to a dorsal osteosynthesis. Average postoperative radial inclination was 20.5 degrees (16-29 degrees) and the volar tilt 9.3 degrees (3-15 degr...
